At Levende Streg we clearly see the trend. Companies have realized that comics can be a true asset in their communication. All though many adults associate comics with books for children or lazy teenagers, the fact is that thousands of adults read and love the genre.

WHAT COMICS CAN DO FOR YOU

Where digital communication invites to multitasking and rapid absorption of news, comic books encourages the reader to indulge. Comic books work because they are visually expressive and engaging for the reader. They consist of both illustrations and text, they are about feelings that are visually elaborate, the reader reads both horizontally, vertically and diagonally.

Comic books are great when you want to convey a complex message and you want your recipient to read in depth - to gain understanding of important or complex details.

CORPORATE COMICS FOR PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT

One of the obvious ways to use comics is to actively use them in product development. You can, for example test your product with potential customers BEFORE YOU'VE EVEN CREATED IT! And you can get important feedback before you even touch a finger in product development. It saves thousands of dollars! Or you can use corporate comic books within the company to create understanding and common direction on a product or a strategy.
